Digital BW, The Print

You ar not going to belive this but my cousin sent me jpegs done with
a Brownie Kodak type camera that was last seen in the 1940's. I don't
know where he found these. Somewhere on line. It had a roll of black
and white film in it. They developed it. They came to find out the
photographs were amazingly shot documents of the bombing of Pearl
Harbon on December 7, 1941.The prints from those negs were across the
board almost perfect. I've heard of stories like this before but never
such an historic event. I'll try to post one of them in the photo
section here.
